Packing up the dreams

Packing up the dreams God's given


In the fertile soil of you


Can't believe the hopes He's given


Means a chapter in our lives is through






But we'll keep you close as always


It won't even seem you've gone


'Cause our hearts in big and small ways


Will keep the love that keeps us strong





Friends are friends forever


If the lord's the lord of them


And a friend will not say never


'Cause a welcome will not end


Though it's hard to let you go


In the Fathers hands we know


That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends. (Michael W. Smith)

Thanks Father for your many many gifts...
